For those who buy online, what increases your comfort that you know what you're getting? I'm in the market for a .41 Rem Mag revolver and am giving up hope that I'll find one I don't have to drive 3 hours to hold in my hands, measure the cylinder gap and end play, feel the balance, feel the trigger action, etc. before laying out my hard-earned money. I see guns on Gunbroker that I'm interested in go for crazy prices I can't afford, but when one comes up at a reasonable price that I can handle and nobody bids on it I can't help but think "what am I missing?"
Is it just that you're willing to take a gamble? Do you ask the seller for more pics or measurements that are easy to take? It's not that I don't trust the sellers, but they don't always give enough information for me to feel like I'm just rolling the dice. Maybe that's the answer to my question. Maybe nobody bids on those guns because there are only a handful of pictures and the description only includes the make, model, barrel length and year of manufacture.
What say you?
